The last several years of finding from NSF have generated massive number of projects, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. I have managed to assemble collaborators working on genetics, neurobiology, behavior, development, and evolution, targeting normal populations, patients with focal lesion, individuals with genetic mutations that lead to focal brain damage, children and animals; using wild and creative technologies, including TMS (allowing for focal suppression of brain function), behavioral genetics and imaging, and virtual reality. I don't think this is something EFTA_R1_01509351 EFTA02436759 that traditional funding will support as it is very large scale. But it has the potential to generate terrifically exciting results, with implications for not only basic research, but clinical applications, politics, law and education. The study centers around the linguistic analogy to morality that i have been pushing. I am attaching a sketch of the project, that i sent to the ex- director of NSF, David Lightfoot. He just stepped down, unfortunately, so who knows what will happen; lightfoot was very invested in the linguistic analogy as he is a chomskyan by training! it is a sketch, but i thought might be useful as a starting point. i don't know if this is of any interest, but if so, would be keen to talk further. best mart Marc Hauser, Harvard College Professor Departments of Psychology and Human Evolutionary Biology Harvard University 33 Kirkland St, Cambridge, MA, 02138 URL: www.wjh.harvard.cdu/--innkylab <http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/%7Emnkylab> For Appointment: I. check my calendar at: http://ical.mac.com/WebOlects/iCal.woa/waidefault?u=hauserharvardecn=A11%20Events.ics 2. email me with possible days and times *** *********** **** ******** ********************************* The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
